A Conference Committee Appointed
by the -Enerican Board and Board
Of Erin.


Of Erin.
CHICAGO. Jan. "a joint meeting of
the American board and the Board OF Erin,
the two divisions of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians. was held this afternoon to dis
cuss the possibility of uniting the two ele-
ments into which the order was separated a
few years ago by the refusal of the Board
Of Erin, located in Ireland, to recognize a
delegate elected by the American branches
p. O'Neill presided over the meeting of the
sections. the members of which sat upon
opposite sides of the long hall. In
session lasting three hours many
pleading and oonciliatory speeches were
made by delegates on either side. A union
was urged by Richard Powers in the name
of the Catholic church, whose prop he said
the order was. and in the name of their
suffering countrymen, whose brothers they
all were. Another speaker, Stephen Car
mody. ntmated that British spies had
something to do with the existing differ
ences. The Spies he said, were in every
hish society fomenting differences. At the
conclusion of the discussion it was agreed
that each side should appoint a conference
committee of seven to arrange a union.
To-day's meeting it is understood. is a
direct outgrowth of the recent convention
of the Irish National league of America in
this city.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Prof. Baird, in

years he has predicted the extinction of the
buffalo, and has desired to get a good speci-

Americans what noble race of wild cattle
Dnce inhabited the great plains Of the West.
But the buffalo has disappeared so COM
pletely that great difficulty is found in get
ting even a single specimen to preserve in
the national museum here in Washington.
For three years not a single buffalo robe has
been sent to st. Paul from Dakota or Mon
tana. The entire shipment in 1888 was but
two robes. In 1881 some 5000 or 1000
fine robes were received. Prof. Baird says:
The reduction in number has been so rapid
as to render 1t probable that it is a question OF
months rather than of years before they be-
come extinct. Realizing the fact that neither

have considered their marriages null

American. Indeed, there are many cases
on record where, in the omission Of a con-

were broken apart at the betrothal, each of
the contracting parties wearing one on the
engagement tinger--the fourth OH the left
hand-until the wedding day, when these
bands were again united and placed on the
brides finger. This was very suggestive,
for the ring was but the pledge which was
redeemed at the altar There are several
theories in regard to the fashion of wearing
the engagement ring on the left hand; the
most poetic, however, is that nerve con-
meets this directly with the heart. To the

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.-All considera-
ton OF the appropriation for the Winona
building has been suspended on account of
Mr.. Heaiey, of California. chairman of the
subcommittee having charge of the bill.
The subcommittee of the house committee
on public buildings and grounds consists of
Healey, WOrthington. OF illinois, and
Owens, of Ohio. Neither of the latter gen
tlemen will consent to take up the Winona
bill while Mr.. HeaIey is away. and there is
no likelihood that he will return during the
session. The appropriation is for $50. 600.
and is desired in order to make the building

should be added to the appropriation Of
500. 900, made in the last congress for site
and building, and with $3.50. 900 the build
ing could have been made tire-proof. Con-
gresSman White, however. thinks there is
a good prospect of getting $50. 600 this WIN
ter, and with this the foundations can be
laid and the work carried on in a way to
make it possible to convert the structure
into a tirSt-claSs tire-proOf building later Oh.
The site cost S15 00G, and if the remainder
of the appropriation is made available
promptly the building can be completed in
